HOW Tom Fitch Felt.

Hon. Tom Fitch represented Nevada one
term in Congress, and is well remembered
as "the silver-tongued orator of the Pacific
slope" at the next Congressional election
the brilliant Tom was defeated, although the
Republican State ticket was elected. A rati-
ication meeting was soon after held at Car
son City, and the successful candidates ex-
horted with enthusiasm. Hon. Tom was
then called out for a speech. He came for
ward rather demurely, as it was more of a
funeral than feast Tor him. He was sa-
luted by loud voice in the crowd with the
exclamation: 81 say, Tom, tell us how you
feel over your defeat" II feel like Lazarus
did at the rich mans gste" quickly re-
sponded Fitch. "How was that2" queried
the voice. Gas if I'd been licked by dogs!"
replied the orator, and then lie proceeded to
illuminate the surroundings with brilliant
display of political pyrotechnics.

BRAZIL, Jan. "A destructive fire broke
out in Knightsyille this morning about .
o'clock IN the principal part OF the business
quarter Of the town. The fire commenced in
dwelEng-house while the family were at
breakfast, and spread so rapidly that soon
seven or more buildings were in ashes. The
buildings burned were used as stores, grocer
les, restaurant, Dutcher-shop, tin-shop, etc.
Where possible, the goods were removed
into the street but even there they were not
safe, owing to the fact that the village has
no fire department and not sufficient police
force for such an occasion. The
finest goods were trampled under foot
by the excited throng that surged through
the streets. The Brazil Hook and Ladder
Company was telephoned for, and but for
their prompt and generous response there is
no doubt but that the loss would have been
much greater.
The following, so far ss could be learned,

none of the fear of party favoritism that al
